Drones Have a Place in Private Business Even if It's Not Known Yet

Drones are set to take the world by storm. At least most of the world anyway. The United States is lagging behind countries
like Japan, the United Kingdom, and even Australia. In the US use of commercial drones is still
not permitted.

Sure you can fly one as a hobby by following some FAA
guidelines for safety, but the moment you use that model airplane or quad-rotor
to make a few extra bucks you are out of line.
Why? In the name of safety of
course.

The US and FAA believe that private drones could interfere
with other low flying manned vehicles, like helicopters and hot air balloons,
which could result in a collision. The
groups believe that US airspace is too busy to accommodate a group of private
entrepreneurs to have a bunch of unmanned vehicles buzzing and whirling about.

It doesn’t matter if the drone is delivering pizzas,
delivering water to folks stranded somewhere, or if it is taking a hammer to a
contractor on the 16th floor of a building. The fact is there are practical commercial
uses of small and mid-sized drones, and the government needs to get on them
quickly. Why? Simply put, a country that wants to be at the
forefront of technology needs to be able to adapt to the changing business
landscape.

Moreover, the US has no issue spending money on drones for
military purposes. So why not put those
flying machines to some money making uses for private citizens as well.
